Milwaukee Brewers starter Ben Sheets left Wednesday night’s game against the Chicago Cubs after only two innings because of pain in his right elbow.

Sheets’ injury was initially announced as tightness in his right forearm. But after Milwaukee’s 6-2 win over the Chicago Cubs, Sheets said it was his elbow that forced him out and had been giving problems for some time.

“It hurts. It wasn’t making me nervous. It was the lack of ability to make pitches,” Sheets said.

Will he pitch again this season as the Brewers try to make the playoffs?

“It’s been so up and down that I would think it’s very possible,” he said. “There’s been really good days and really bad days. There’s been days where it’s hard to move it and it’s stiff. Then the next day it’s great. So we’ll see.”

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Nomar Garciaparra reinjured his left knee while attempting to score from second on a two-out single in the fifth inning in Pittsburgh.
